The Township of Ocean School District Board of Education on Monday recognized Ocean Township High School students who won awards at three theater competitions in June.
The awards were announced during the board's meeting as administrators called students and staff to the front for recognition. Mrs. Walton, superintendent support, told the board and audience the district had winners at the Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star awards, the Count Basie Awards in Red Bank and the Foxy Awards in Montclair.
The awards spanned categories including student achievement, marketing and graphic design, scenic artistry, outstanding company in a drama, outstanding direction, featured ensemble group and individual acting honors. "This is unbelievable and outstanding. So for all who were involved, congratulations," Mrs. Walton said as she called winners to the stage.
